The School
of Family and Consumer Sciences provides students with the opportunity
to advance and apply knowledge about individuals and families
as well as the environmental and other contexts of human development
across the life span. Students are educated from a perspective
that emphasizes multi-disciplinary study of information across
areas of specialization in the school, as well as other academic
disciplines. A strong emphasis is placed on the development of
collaborative partnerships to service the needs of children, families
and individuals across the life-span.

School of Human Movement, Sport, and Leisure
Studies
The School
of Human Movement, Sport, and Leisure Studies includes two divisions
and two program areas. The two divisions are Kinesiology (KNS)
and Sport Management, Recreation and Tourism (SMRT). The two program
areas are the Graduate Program (HMSL) and the Physical Education
General Program (PEG).
Students in
the Sport Management, Recreation and Tourism Division (SMRT) major
in Sport Management (SMD) or Recreation and Tourism (RTD), and
are preparing to work in the sport/tourism/recreation industries
or nonprofit agencies. An additional sport management option prepares
students to be athletic trainers/clinic managers.
Students in
the Kinesiology Division (KNS) study for a variety of careers
dealing with human movement. They can become pre-K through twelve
physical educators or clinical exercise specialists. Majors in
dance focus on modern dance and classical ballet, performance/choreography
or teaching in non-school settings. Human movement science majors
often use their degree as a pre-medical or pre-physical therapy
degree.
Each division
has active student organizations that help students explore the
career and graduate school opportunities within their majors.
The physical
education general program (PEG) offers instruction in physical
activity, and opportunities to exercise for the general University
